The Guarlford Story

'The Guarlford Story' was researched, written and published by the Guarlford History
Group (GHG).

It is an account of Guarlford from pre-Roman days until the present
time, with the emphasis on social activities and working environments over the
last one hundred and fifty years.

It describes the dramatic changes that have
taken place over the last five or six decades, how Guarlford has changed from a
self contained rural community to one in which there is no longer a village
school, where farms employ fewer workers, and all but one of the clubs and
societies have vanished.

Nevertheless, Guarlford, as is evident from this
account, is still a thriving, albeit different community.

The book has many interesting quality illustrations. For
example the photo below, which begins the introduction to the book, that shows
Lady Beauchamp opening a parish fete circa 1910.
